Spring Green Juice | Allergy free

Healthy though it may be, green juice has never been one of my favorite drinks... 

But I've been trying to pack extra veggies and greens into my strict diet right now, 

and I actually concocted a recipe that is really great. 

Green juice is now my daily morning routine, and It's amazing stuff. 

Spring Green Juice

Ingredients:

4 Stalks Celery
1/2 of a large cucumber
handful of cilantro
8 or 9 leaves of romaine lettuce

Run veggies through a juicer and strain with a nut milk bag or sieve.

Since I love veggies, this juice doesn't bother me in the least, but should you want to change it up a bit, adding a small amount of fresh apple or orange juice makes it taste delicious as well.

Blueberry fruit leather | Allergy free

I'm a complete snack food junkie, so finding something healthy that is also portable

 can be a challenge sometimes. I stumbled across a recipe for fruit

 leather over at www.roostblog.com and decided to try and make my own.

 It was SO quick and simple, and I was really pleased with the outcome! 

Blueberry fruit leather:

Ingredients:

5 cups fresh or thawed-frozen blueberries


Blend blueberries in a blender or food processor. Empty mixture into sieve and strain out seeds.
Pour the strained blueberry mixture onto teflex sheets for your dehydrator, or onto a flat baking sheet lined with plastic wrap.
Dehydrate for 4-6 hours (or bake in the oven at it's lowest setting with the door ajar) until the texture is flexible and chewy.
Wrap in parchment paper and store in ziptop baggies.

This is a great snack to take on car trips, and the flavor possibilities are endless.
Try Strawberry/Raspberry/Mango/Peach/Banana or any other of your favorite fruit combinations.
